Summary
Users can access their account notifications by clicking the bell icon in the top right of their
Gala Games and Entertainment account homepage.
The notification page defaults to showing the recent activity a person has had with their account. There are two different labels a transaction will show, its status and type.
The status shows the state of the transaction, while the type refers to what kind of transaction it is.
Status
Awaiting Fulfillment - This status shows when an item purchased from the Gala Store or a Treasure Chest claim is being processed to be deposited to a user's inventory. A user can learn more about why there is a delay between purchasing an NFT and receiving it by reading this article:
Delay in Receiving a Gala Store Purchase
Fulfilled - When a purchase is fulfilled, the purchase has been completed, and the NFT purchase has been deposited into the user's inventory.
Inventory - The inventory status means that a deposit has arrived in a user's inventory section of their Gala Games and Entertainment account. This status shows for both when a person receives a deposit to their Ethereum address or receives a deposit to their Treasure Chest or [GalaChain] Inventory.
Withdrawal - When an item has been withdrawn from a person's inventory, this appears as the status.
Pending - The pending status is shown when the transaction is broadcasting on the Ethereum network. This may be shown after a person purchases an NFT or transfers from their Treasure Chest to their Ethereum inventory.
Type
Purchase - This transaction was a purchase from the Gala Store.
Distribution Reward - This transaction was a distribution reward for fulfilling specific actions such as operating a Founder's Node for the required time.
